How to Become Rich in 2026: the wealth strategy no one is talking about
Create with Franz
"If you feel like you're working hard but still leaking money, it's not an income problem—it’s an architecture problem.” Most people believe their financial struggle is an income problem. They think a higher salary or a sudden windfall is the "miracle" they need. But the truth is, you cannot pour a gallon of blessing into a one-ounce cup. If your financial architecture is broken, more money will only expose more leaks. In this episode, Terence Townsend—author of Financial Prudence: The Way of the Kingdom—reveals how he went from a homeless minister with a wife and four children to...
info_outlineIf you have been deeply hurt in some way, you know how difficult it is to forgive and move on. You might feel uncertain on what the future holds for you. Today, Helen Glanville shares with us a powerful, deeply personal story of love, loss, and public judgment that led her to a profound truth: faith is the only anchor in uncertainty.
Helen faced intense scrutiny after falling in love with a lawyer involved in one of Australia's most publicized white-collar crimes. She discovered that her survival—and healing—depended on the radical choice to forgive. Helen found peace in prayer, learned to trust God's timing, and witnessed how grace can transform even the hardest circumstances.
We discuss why forgiveness is an act of spiritual courage that offers immediate physical benefits. Did you know that chronic anger and bitterness elevate stress hormones and contribute to long-term health issues? Forgiveness is indeed key to restoring internal peace.
Learn how Helen turned her hardest circumstances into a life of service, co-founding Second Chances SA—a charity helping the families of prisoners. Her journey proves that when life breaks you open, letting that space become service brings the greatest healing, redeeming both purpose and identity.
Topics covered: forgiveness, healing, prisoners families, faith, anchor, service, Gods timing, second chances

Go Deeper on the Science of Bipolar Disorder:
You might be interested in exploring forgiveness for cases when the crime is committed by a person suffering from serious mental illness which causes violent behaviour. The groundbreaking work of Dr. William Walsh, a leader in nutritional psychiatry, might prove to be an interesting dive in this field.
His research, which started by studying the biology of violent behavior, reveals that Bipolar Disorder is likely a "channelopathy"—a condition caused by vulnerable ion channel and DNA repair genes. This discovery explains the mystery of mood switching and points to specific, nutrient-based treatments.
For a full breakdown of the genetic, chemical, and nutritional factors at the root of conditions like Bipolar Disorder and criminal behavior, learn more about Dr. Walsh's book, The Essence of Bipolar Disorder. https://amzn.to/3WplER3 (Please note that this is an affiliate link and I do receive a tiny compensation if a book is purchased through it)

If you do not wish to click on the links:
Dr. Walsh's key discovery is that Bipolar Disorder, which has long baffled researchers, appears to be a "channelopathy."
- The Cause: Bipolar Disorder is viewed as a vulnerability rooted in specific ion channel genes (which regulate neurotransmission) and DNA repair genes.
- The Mechanism: This genetic weakness makes individuals highly vulnerable to oxidative assault (chemical damage). The resulting malfunction in ion channels explains the classic, rapid "switching" between mood states (from normal to mania to depression).
- Wider Impact: Weak DNA repair genes not only contribute to mood disorders but also accelerate aging and can lower life expectancy, connecting mental and physical health in a profound way.
Dr. Walsh’s work, which began by studying the biology behind violent and criminal behavior, shifts the focus from purely psychological causes to identifiable, treatable biotypes—paving the way for highly individualized nutrient protocols for treatment and prevention.
This scientific perspective changes our mindset when we have a spiritual discussion about forgiveness:
- Forgiveness and Understanding: When dealing with criminals or those who cause life-long damage, it's vital to remember that some actions may be driven by biological vulnerabilities (like a channelopathy) that strip them of the capacity for typical decision-making. Understanding the biological cause can lead to compassion and informed public policy, even if personal forgiveness remains a long journey and a personal decision.
- Forgiveness and Health: The same oxidative stress that contributes to bipolar disorder is often exacerbated by chronic psychological stress, proving that faith practices like forgiveness are a form of biochemical self-care.
